Book Description
'Buy my stepfather's ghost' read the e-mail. So Jude did. He bought the dead man's suit, delivered in a heart-shaped box, because he wanted it: because his fans ate up that kind of story. It was perfect for his collection: the genuine skulls and the bones, the real honest-to-God snuff movie, the occult books and all the rest of the paraphanalia that goes along with his kind of hard/goth rock. But the rest of his collection doesn't make the house feel cold. The bones don't make the dogs bark; the movie doesn't make Jude feel as if he's being watched. And none of the artefacts bring a vengeful old ghost with black scribbles over his eyes out of the shadows to chase Jude out of his home, and make him run for his life . . .

I thought this was a pretty decent horror novel, it wasn't terribly scary but the plot was decent and fast-paced. I tried to be fair and not compare his work to his father's but the inclination was always there.
Great characters, unusual plot twists, rock 'n' roll, two wonderful dogs, and a terrific narrative voice. I thoroughly enjoyed this book by Stephen King's son and look forward to many more novels from him.
